| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺北大學 === 古典文獻學研究所 === 98 === Zhou Zhong-fu (1768-1831), one of the renowned scholars during the reign of Emperors Qianlong and Jiaqing of Qing Dynasty, devoted himself to conducting textual research and verifying ancient manuscripts. His Zhengtang Dushuji, with the similar structure to that of Siku Quanshu Zongmu, notes down a bibliography of more than four thousand entries. Zhou annotated each entry, making comments on its content, printing, and authenticity, along with his insightful opinions, which renders this book as one of the obligatory reference for people working on bibliography research. In addition, many scholars treat Zhengtang Dushuji as a sequence of Siku Quanshu Zongmu, which makes this book even more worth to work on.
There are five chapters in this thesis, based on Zhengtang Dushuji as the major research subject: “Chapter One: the Introduction” illustrates the rationale, purpose and methodology of this research, and presents a brief literary review. “Chapter Two: the Biography of Zhou Zhong-fu” cites the life and acquaintances of Zhou, and his writing and works as well. “Chapter Three: the Criticism on Zhengtang Dushuji, Part I” comments on the literary background of Zhengtang Dushuji, and its inter/relation to Ciyunlou Cangshuzhi. Moreover, this chapter also analyzes various editions, versions, and characteristics of all entries in Zhengtang Dushuji. “Chapter Four: the Criticism on Zhengtang Dushuji, Part II” aims to analyze how Zhou categorizes and annotates his collection in Zhengtang Dushuji with specific examples, and compare that with the category and annotation in Buyi. “Chapter Five: Conclusion” concludes the advantages and disadvantages in Zhengtang Dushuji, and points out the significance and importance of Zhou in the history of Chinese Bibliography Study.
